Dragonite's high Attack stat, Dragon Dance, and Tera Normal make it a good user of Extreme Speed, being able to effectively clean late-game. Earthquake helps Dragonite eliminate Normal-resistant Pokemon such as Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Heatran. Roost improves Dragonite's longevity and enables it to acquire multiple boosts against passive opponents. Roost lets Dragonite check Volcarona and rain sweepers such as Barraskewda throughout the entire match. Ice Spinner is another choice that clears the priority-blocking Psychic Terrain and hits Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Dragapult super effectively. Fire Punch can be used to hit bulky Steel-types not weak to Ground such as Corviknight, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn. An Adamant nature is usually preferred to maximize Extreme Speed's damage output, but a Jolly nature enables Dragonite to outspeed Tapu Koko and the Normal-immune Dragapult after a single Dragon Dance. Heavy-Duty Boots ensures that Dragonite will always retain Multiscale even if entry hazards are up, but if the team's entry hazard control is good, Silk Scarf is another option that boosts Extreme Speed's power. Dragonite fits well on offensive teams as a priority-using revenge killer and late-game cleaner. Entry hazard support from Great Tusk and Garchomp can help chip down bulky targets such as opposing Great Tusk into range of its attacks. Tapu Lele poses a serious threat to Dragonite, as not only does its Psychic Terrain block Extreme Speed on grounded targets, but with a Choice Scarf it can also outspeed and deal massive damage to Dragonite even after setup, especially if Dragonite has not Terastallized yet. Gholdengo is a good partner, as it can switch in on and threaten Tapu Lele and prevent the opponent from removing entry hazards. Dragonite often struggles against Unaware users such as Dondozo and Skeledirge, so Pokemon that can grab momentum against them are appreciated teammates. Rotom-W and Tapu Koko can come relatively freely on Dondozo and threaten it with a Volt Switch while Heatran and Mega Diancie can switch into and set up Stealth Rock against Skeledirge. Strong wallbreakers like Mega Medicham, Mega Charizard Y, and Zamazenta all take advantage of Pokemon that Dragonite tends to struggle with, such as Dondozo, allowing it to sweep more easily late-game.
